Fitness Training and Basic Conditioning

Grapple Den trainer and facilitator Damien TD is a certified personal trainer (NASM - National Academy of Sports Medicine). He has held his certification since 2004. Prior to gaining his professional certification, he was an NCAA Division 1 student-athlete who got a good dose of strength and condition experience on the receiving end.

Though he comes from a heavily athletic background, Damien particularly enjoys working with recreational athletes and beginner exercisers. And while he finds sport-specific training to be a pleasure, he also specializes in conditioning people for the sport we call "life."

Damien loves to educate people about fitness concepts and biomechanics. He strongly believes that if his trainees understand the rationale behind their training, the reasons why their bodies behave as they do, and the fundamental concepts of how our bodies adapt to exercise stimulus, then his trainees will be better prepared to achieve long-lasting results. No blind pumping and groaning; under Damien's watch, you will come away with a fitness vocabulary that you can use for life.
